Read in context

Philippians 3:13–17 · Berean Standard Bible

13 Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,

14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize of God’s heavenly calling in Christ Jesus.

15 All of us who are mature should embrace this point of view. And if you think differently about some issue, God will reveal this to you as well.

16 Nevertheless, we must live up to what we have already attained.

17 Join one another in following my example, brothers, and carefully observe those who walk according to the pattern we set for you.
